Halston Reborn – As a Frenchwoman

Review Guidelines on Link AboveAt The Chateau

I slipped into Elemiah designs after seeing a cute babydoll dress on Freestyle and I wanted to see more. It’s possible that I have an unnatural affinity for the modern, feminine lines drawn by Halston back in the day – I had a bachelor uncle who was a huge fan – but I immediately saw a comparison in Elemiah’s designs with the late great designer.

Far from being just an SL version of his designs, what I find at her shop is a modern sensibility to the style that Halston pioneered. Delicate but modern, clean lines with a feminine flair. Even her frillier femme pieces are still flavored with a hint of modern line. Continue reading →

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Leave a reply

You know that song?  It’s played in many films, dance competitions, it’s almost ubiquitous…the song that goes Hot! Hot! Hot!  Well, that’s the song I heard in my head when I saw this new release, Franch Affair, from Digit Darkes in the color Dijon. Dijon! Not Mustard. A vibrant, bright summer heat wave of a slip dress, French Affair skims your body and curves over your assets to a short, but not vulgarly short, skirt with a miniskirt prim that’s perfectly matched and placed. I shot several photos in all sorts of positions to test the limits of how well that miniskirt prim worked and it passed with flying Dijon!

Grape Drape

1 Reply

There’s the scent of roses in the air – yellow, lemony roses carried by the breeze from the church down the street. It made me want to put on something floral and summery and I thought of this dress right away. From Bianca Foulon, the draping dress in grape is a floral confection with a full skirt tiered by a black lace wrap. I hesitated to wear it before because the neck prim seemed a bit to high and too snug, making me feel like tugging on my collar. I decided to leave off the neck prim this time and wear Japancakes magnificent Wild Petal Scarf. The scarf comes with a color change script and is one of those must-have accessories that can make a dozen outfits zing.

Mayan Hawaiian

4 Replies

It was a hot day today so I wore the lovely cotton Hawaiian print skirt from the O’Brien Goes Hawaiian set from Ingenue.  A nice crisp cotton can be so cool in hot weather and a vintage print like this one just says summer all day long. The set comes with a lovely short sleeve white cotton blouse, but I wanted a bit more spice than that. Lots more spice! 

Looking through my tops, I found a few camis that would work, but still not spicy enough so I started trying on some of the dress tops in my orange folder, thinking that would really pop and sure enough, this top from SeVan’s Isabella dress was what I was looking for. Maybe I’m crazy, but I like it. Continue reading →

Glam Tank Cubed

Leave a reply

AM Radio does such amazing builds: Far Away, the temporary Refuge and Prospect, The Quiet and Tusk. I have been wanting to shoot something at Tusk for a while and decided to put an outfit together with the colors of the desert. When I bought this new tank from MichaMi, I knew it would be the base for an outfit to shoot at Tusk.

Milla Michinaga, whose fashion blog was an inspiration for It’s Only Fashion, has become a content creator, opening her new store MichaMi on Rue d’Antibes. The content is spare, but excellently made and focuses on wardrobe foundation pieces such as this Glam Tank in Gold. It’s beautifully made and at 50L, you can get one in every color. I thought that a brown skirt would do well with it and pulled out this wonderful Tiered Skirt from Ce Cubic Effect, a sculpted skirt that keeps its form when you sit or lie down. To top it off, I used the jacket layer belt from Zaara’s Calungate Orange dress. I knew those belts would come in handy.

I Ain't No Holla Back Girl

Miffy was horrified that I had been in SL over a year and only owned on proper set of boots. So when she gave me these – I knew I had to rock a fun outfit to go with. Something MAD MAX vs. spoiled Diva was what I was going for.

Digit Darkes had a L$1 sale on a hidden item, the Piper shirt and it was an incredible find.  Some designers do separates well, some do full outfits, but Digit does both and it’s so much fun to pick up a new piece and see what you can do with it. Continue reading →

Hellbound to Paris

1 Reply

When I saw the ad for Diversity Hair’s newest hairstyle, the model was wearing this corset and I was all “gotta have it.”  Thanks to Aleri and Sasy, I was able to track down the eye-dazzling corset, the jacket layer of a lovely black and purple lolita style dress called Hellbound from Sn@tch. Some of its appeal comes from the lovely ruffle detail along the top, but wait until you see the zing on the back. Continue reading →

Mix to Match

Leave a reply

If you noticed Second Life® tilting slightly the other day, that was when Zaara released her newest design, a long dress called Calangute that comes with absolute outrageous belting on the jacket layer and everyone rushed to get their own. These belts will get their use. I made a copy and pasted it into my belts folder so I remember to use them with other outfits. This is the chocolate version of the dress and it comes with a lovely long textured skirt that I was not in the mood to wear. I wanted knee length but I remembered that I had a dress from DP Serendipity that was a very similar color and sure enough, the skirt from that dress was a perfect match. I used the other dress’s pants layer to make sure the seams and highlights lined up. I was more than happy with the result.
